We've reached the midway point of the 42nd annual K/D Salmon Tournament. After a north blow tomorrow afternoon, the long-term forecast heading into a full moon weekend is lighter offshore winds on the lake side of the K/D peninsula. That and some very good fishing will lure a lot of anglers hoping to cash in on some prize money, or tasty fillets (how about both?).
More than 250 20-pound-plus Chinooks have been brought to the five tournament scales, including nearly 100 weighing between 25 and 33.97 pounds.
